CELLULOID DREAMS THE MOVIE SHOW -- 5/18/23 - EXTENDED VERSION

THIS WEEK'S SHOW: Some hits and then, a miss. 

If you were at all tech-aware in the early 2000s, you knew (and maybe used) a BlackBerry. The then-ubiquitous device broke the code by turning a phone into a text/email device, becoming the first smart phone, which unintentionally paved the way for its demise. BLACKBERRY dramatizes its high-speed rise and fall and director/actor/co-writer Matt Johnson joins us for a chat. 

"Yogi" Berra was one of baseball's greats, earning ten World Series rings, three MVP awards and many All-Star Game appearances. But, he may be best-known for simply being himself and for his philosophical "Yogi-isms." IT AIN'T OVER tells the legendary catcher's story, and we get even more with director Sean Mullin and executive producer (and Yogi's granddaughter) Lindsay Berra. 

The documentary FOR NO GOOD REASON takes an intimate look at iconic artist Ralph Steadman, whose dangerous and intense illustrations have visually defined the works of Pink Floyd (THE WALL) and Hunter S. Thompson (FEAR AND LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS), among many others. With us are director Charlie Paul & producer Lucy Paul. [from 2014] 

"Screen Scene" movie reviews return next week!
